Olivia J Charters has got a new boat and its crew is inviting you aboard to have a fishing trip in Texas you won't forget! Captain Rodney Chapman takes you nearshore, offshore, to reefs, and to wrecks, starting out of Freeport. Join him for a fun-packed trip and make some lovely memories on the water!

Captain Rodney uses a restored 33' World Cat TE catamaran powered by 2 brand-new 300 HP Suzuki engines. This vessel is set up for bluewater deep sea trips and is federally permitted. It uses all the modern navigation electronics and features a Full marine Toilet, an ice-box, and a livewell. You'll also have a first mate at your disposal in case you need any help during the trip.

As the boat is federally permitted, you and the crew are able to travel beyond the 9-mile state water line and go after various Snapper types, Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna, Amberjack, Grouper, and many more. To reel in your catch, you can bottom, deep sea, and drift fish as well as troll and jig. You choose if you'll keep the fish you catch and take it home. Hard alcohol isn't allowed on board but you're welcome to bring beer. Fuel is included in the price.

Before you depart, bring your licenses, snacks, and drinks. Captain Rodney will provide everything else needed for a great day on the water.

Pick a day, pack your stuff, and join in for some wonderful fishing time in Texas!

Captain and crew went all out to ensure success!

5 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM) on September 6, 2025 • 4 adults

The captain and his supporting crew member went out of their way to make sure we were going to catch fish. They were aware of conditions and areas that had not recently been successful and steered the boat towards making an extra effort to take us to spots that produced results. We caught our allowed state limit and had a great fish grilled dinner back at home that day!

Great Trip!!!

8 Hour Trip – Offshore on September 13, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

Little rough going out, but the Captain and boat made the trip comfortable for everyone.  We caught some huge snapper, hung a big shark, and lost a few big fish.  Couldn't ask for anything more from a fishing charter.  I'd highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get out on the water and have a good time.

Capt. Rod did a great job of finding and keeping us on the fish. I really appreciate his hard work throughout the day. Thanks for the attention you paid the grandson's.  They are absolutely hooked on fishing now.

Great Fishing Day

5 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM) on July 18, 2025 • 4 adults

The captain was knowledgeable about the area and in what spots we could have the best chance of catching some good fish. He did a great job at it we got to take some good reds home.
